I JUST WANTED TO WRITE AND TELL EVERYONE ABOUT OUR TRIP TO THE JOHNANESBURG TEMPLE WITH 10 MEMBERS FROM THE KWANOBUHLE WARD.
THE TEMPLE IS 12 HOURS AWAY FROM US. BOY, DID WE TAKE IT FOR GRANITE BACK HOME WHEN THE TEMPLE WAS 20 MINUTES AWAY. WE WERE SO EXCITED THAT WE COULD GO BECAUSE JOHANESBURG IS NOT IN OUR MISSION. THESE PEOPLE ARE REALLY POOR SO IT IS HARD FOR THEM TO GET TO THE
TEMPLE MOST OF THEM CAN'T AFFORD IT. THEY WAIT YEARS TO GO TO THE TEMPLE AND BE SEALED AND HAVE THERE FAMILY SEALED TO THEM. SUCH A
WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. THE FIRST COUPLE THE MBUSI'S DID THERE ENDOWMENTS THEN WERE SEALED THEN HAD THERE FOUR YEAR OLD SON SEALED TO THEM. THEN BROTHER MBUSI HAD LOST HIS FATHER A COUPLE YEARS BACK SO HE DID HIS TEMPLE WORK. SISTER MBUSI'S PARENTS HAD PASSED A WAY
A LONG TIME AGO WHEN THEY DID HER PARENTS TEMPLE WORK SHE SAID SHE FELT SUCH A WONDERFUL FEELING. WE ALL JUST KNOW HER PARENTS ACCEPTED THE GOSPEL. MTBELLI AND HIS WIFE GOT THERE
ENDOWMENTS. HIS WIFE GOT REALLY SICK AND WAS THROWING UP BEFORE THEY WENT IN TO THE TEMPLE.SO ELDER VAN SICKLE AND I DECIDED TO VENTURE OUT AND GET SOME STOMACH MEDICINE FOR HER AND BOY WAS THAT A VENTURE IN THE BIG CITY OF JOHNANNESBURG WITHOUT A GPS FIRST WE CAN'T FIND A PHARMACY. THEN WHEN
WE DID WE COULDN'T FIND OUR WAY BACK.OUR GPS HAD BEEN STOLEN. SO WE HAD TO BREAK DOWN AND BUY ANOTHER ONE.ONCE WE GOT
BACK AND GAVE HER THE MEDICINE WHICH DIDN'T STAY DOWN FOR LONG BECAUSE BY THE TIME SHE GOT INTO THE TEMPLE SHE THREW UP AGAIN. SO ELDER VAN SICKLE AND HER HUSBAND MTBELLI GAVE HER A BLESSING. SHE FELT FINE AFTER THAT. ANOTHER COUPLE GOT THERE ENDOWMENTS AND GOT SEALED. THE FIRST TIME WE MEET THEM WAS AT THE TEMPLE. ALL THESE MEMBERS
ARE PIONEERS IN THE GOSPEL.THEY ARE THE FIRST TO BE MEMBERS IN THERE FAMILY. SINCE THE LIFE EXPECTANCY IN THE TOWNSHIPS IS 45 MOST
OF THERE PARENTS HAVE ALREADY PASSED AWAY. IT REALLY MAKES ME WANT TO DO TEMPLE WORK FOR MY ANCESTORS INSTEAD OF JUST GETTING
A NAME AT THE TEMPLE WHEN WE GO THERE.
